"Gago, hindi naman talaga tayo mag-asawa. Tumigil ka na nga. Biro lang 'yon"

"You want to be my legal wife? No problem." I tookmy phone and dialled my Lawyer's number. He answered my call immediately. "Hello, Attorney, I have a request."

"[Sure, Mr. Velasquez, what is it?]"

"Can you make a marriage contract?" I asked while looking at Darlene.

"[Marriage contract? Do you need that now?]"

"Yes, I need it now."

Darlene's eyes widened.

"Gago ka ba?! Tigilan mo nga 'yan! Gusto mo bang palayasin ako ni Papa sa bahay?! Ni hindi pa nga ako graduate. Ni hindi pa nga ako marunong mag-luto kasi sunog-sunog! Tigilan mo 'yan." Darlene yelled.

"[That was a loud yell, who is she?]"

"Ah 'yon? 'Yong pakakasalan ko ang naririnig mong sumisigaw."

"[Wow, I thought you're kidding. She's really the one?]"

"Yeah, she is. Can you do that for me?" I was pertaining to the marriage contract.

"[Sure! No problem!]"

"Thank you. By the way, sorry for the inconvenience." I ended the call.

See? I'm serious. Kaya ko siyang pakasalan sa kahit anong simbahan but I really preferred beach wedding in... Siargao. I want that.

"Lakas mo talaga manggago minsan."

"Now I know why you don't want to be my girlfriend because you want to be my wife." I smirked.

"Ulol."

Ayaw pa niya, siya na kaya ang magiging asawa ko. Tapos ayaw pa niya? Dude, ako na nga ang makakasama niya, e, tapos ayaw niya?
Lagi talagang tinatanggihan ni Darlene ang grasya.

"Hindi mo na dapat dinala sila Lucy."

Galing mag-change topic. She's too worried about pet, wala dapat siyang ika-worried. I know, she can do it, kaya naman ni Lucy ang mga babies niya. I believed in her supremacy.

Sinulyapan ko siya, hinahaplos niya si Lucy.

"Bakit ka ba kasi dinadala ni Darius sa kung ano-anong lugar." I heard her mumbling "Baka mamatay siya kapag nanganak, Velasquez. Hanggang one or two lang ang pwede niyang ipanganak."

"She won't die." Mana kaya si Lucy sa kanya. She's strong, like her mommy.

"'Oy, may tumatawag sa 'yo." She took my phone. "Si Dash?"

Why the hell is he calling?

"Answer it, maybe it's important. And ask him why he called."

Sinagot ni Darlene ang tawag. "Teka lang, masyado kang high. Hindi ko keri." Darlene was trying to calm him. "Chill ka lang."

Wait, what's happening and why Dash is fucking mad... or irritated?

"Wala lang. Magkasama kasi kami, e. Bakit ka raw pala tumawag?"

Nilingon ko si Darlene. "Hindi gago," sagot niya, it took a second before she looked at me. "Bigay ko raw sa 'yo." I got the phone from her hand.

"[Nix, let's stop the fucking mess.]" I heard Dash's voice. "[This is for Darlene. Kailan mo ba balak itigil 'yan? Your games.]" That's fucking bullshit! This isn't a game anymore.

"I don't know." Kung alam lang nila kung anong ginagawa ko. Mahal ko si Darlene at hindi laro ang pinapakita ko. It's not a game nor a bet anymore.

"[I will do fucking everything, Nix, just to stop—]" I cut him off.
